From my experence of others your face will go back to as it was it does take time,thank God your now off them,my wife was on them so long she went blind her skin became covered in wrinkles and lost the nerve endings in her feet and legs and has trouble eating,she was given 2 weeks to live so i dident see the point of giving her prednisone and suddenly she felt better that was 2 years ago,but sadly her body and eyes have gone.
You have my sympathy...I have been on pred for the past 6 yr s and it totally sucks!! It changes your looks and other ignorant people think you have just gotten fat! I did wean myself off it 4 about 6 weeks but wham another flare put me straight back to square one!
Hi i'm taking predisone 30mg for two weeks, then on to 20mg for another 2 weeks then onto 10mg for a further two weeks. I started my treatement today. I'm really worried about the side effects. Can you give me some advice as to what I can do while on prednisone? like taking supplements and what diet to eat?
I have been on prednisone for 12 years, very short breaks between, I'm weaning off even though might be too soon, I can't take it anymore. It's not only bad on my face, but my moods, I miss being myself. I'm only on 6 mg at this point, most I been on was 20 Yikes, I got Rheumatoid arthritis, what a freaken trip. I rather be on more Chemo lol. I'm on the road to no pred, thanks for sharing with us, it means a lot to someone else going through it girl
I have to be on prednisone for my pemphigus illness. I've been on it for the last 2 months. I'm currently on 40mgs and my doc just told me to stay on that for the next 2 weeks at least. It really sucks. I have the moonface and experiencing some hair loss(the worse side effect yet). Thank God no weight gain and I've been eating like a pig. I'm well enough to hit the gym and excersize. Can't wait to get off of it.
My tonsils have been swollen since December its now June. I have tonsillitis. And they gave me a prescription for Prednisone 10 MG. I have to take 6 a day for 2 days. Then 4 a day for 2 days, and 2 a day for 2 days. I started today and I took a quick nap and i thought i pissed in the bed, but it was sweat. My shirt was soaked especially around the neck area and my back. I could squeeze the sweat out my shirt and I have heavy eyes. Is this a common side effect from this medication? Thanks!
prednisone is fine... it has cured me... if you cant controll you hunger dont blame the drug, blame yourself for being weak... weak minded people cannot controll their hunger and keep eating when their sad.tired, or bored
